Chi Lewis-Parry: The "28 Years Later" zombie, kickboxer, gladiator, and Gelf has gay fans and a lot of beneath-the-belt equipment

Now that 28 Years Later is streaming, we can get better screen shots of Samson, an Alpha: a bigger, stronger, more sentient, and well-nigh indestructable zombie, who strides across the ruins of Scotland with his semi-sentient pack,  tearing off survivors' heads, chasing Jamie and his son Spike (Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alfie Williams) and being studied by Dr. Kelson (Ralph Fiennes). 

Did you notice the energy in the interactions between Samson and Dr. Kelson? A definite appreciation of the muscleman beneath the zombie.  Under other circumstances, they might have become boyfriends.

Samson caused a lot of pearl-clutching among skittish heterosexuals because he was n*dE with his gigantic Samson swinging around. Um...he pulls people's heads right out of their bodies, and you're traumatized by a willie?

The gays loved it, of course.  Even Erik (Edvin Ryding) seems impressed.  Under other circumstances, he would be giving Samson...um.... 

There are several photos on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.

Actor Chi Lewis-Parry notes that he used a prosthetc.  There's a British law that, when there are kids on the set, you can't show your real equipment  Besides, he's "always hugging people," and you can hardly do that "fully in the nip." 

But in real life he's "Six foot eight inches."

Funny, according to the biography on Tapology, Chi is only 6'7", not 6'8"...oh, right.  Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. 

Chi was born in 1983 in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, and began his career as basketball player before moving on to kickboxing  and MMA (mixed martial arts).  Using the stage name Chopper,  he competed with the United Arab Emirates Warriors before signing on with the American UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship).  Here he fights the Egyptian Hulk, Mahmoud Hassen, for an eight-second knockout.

In 2015, he posted "I am tenacious, I'm unanimous, I'm infamous, I'm superb, dashing, marvelous, gargantuan, heroic, furious, greatness, fearsome, a winner! Well, that's what my mum told me growing up, so it must be true."

More after the break

In 2019 he was found guilty of falsifying evidence that he used doping drugs (taken just before a match to enhance performance), and banned from the UPC for four years.  Then COVID prevented his return to the Warriors, so he turned his attention to acting and stunt work.

Chi had uncredited roles as a muscleman in the tv series Top Boy (2011) -- it just means "head of the class" in Britain -- and a Gelf on Red Dwarf (2012).  But in 2022, he began acting full time, with guest spots on Pistol, Pennyworth, Ghosts, Regime, My Lady Jane, and Slow Horses. 

A Woman Scorned (2025) is not actually about a woman scorned -- she's hunting down and killing the men responsible for the death of her sister, including Dom (Chi).

Chi's most significant role to date is Phoebus "the sun god" in Gladiator II, one of the gladiators who trains and fights with focus character Hanno (Paul Mescal).

Paul Mescal's willie is on RG Beefcake and Boyfriends.

Chi has also written and starred in two shorts:

It's Getting Late, Mr. Pipkin: A stranger delivers a mysterious parcel revealing a "haunting truth" about his past.

When She Wakes: no plot synopsis available, but presumably she's asleep.

He mentions his son on his Instagram, and he's wearing a wedding ring, so Chi is probably straight.  But he's a long-time gay ally who loves the admiration -- and aesthetic appreciation -- of male and female fans.
